For over a century the roads of northern Europe have been home to the toughest bicycle races in the world. The most famous of these, Paris to Roubaix, takes place each spring over brutal cobblestone roads that have been preserved in their historic condition for over 100 years.
Inspired by this classic race, the Paris to Ancaster has taken place for the past twenty two years over the roughest farm lanes, trails and gravel roads we can find. Combined with unpredictable spring weather and the largest field of riders assembled in Canada, it has become a classic race experience for everyone from average riders to Canadian Olympians. Join us on April 26, 2015 to become part of the history of this unique race.

MARCH 1 UPDATEREGISTRATION - COST GOES UP TOMORROW - MARCH 2nd!
WAVE 1 - less than 20 spots left. WAVE 2 - SOLD OUT. WAVE 3 - SOLD OUT.
We still have spots in the VIP and Wave 4.

A common question - Can I start in a wave that is already sold out? It is possible but you have to be entered first. See our FAQ page. Another question - Can I change waves? Yes, when you pick up your race number, go to the wave/event change table to see if a spot is available in the wave you want. Be patient - riders frequently switch waves or move from the 70km race to the 40km race, leaving openings to be filled. It is done on a first come, first served basis. We can't guarantee that you will be able to change waves even if you are waiting.
Other news - Jeremy Powers (Rapha Focus) reigning and 3x USA National Cyclocross champion is back. 2014 P2A winner, Anthony Clark (JAM Fund) is also back for the 2015 race.
